OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
State courts have concurrent jurisdiction with superior courts over cases brought pursuant to the Child Support Recovery Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-1 et seq. 1983 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U83-33.
Transfer of proceedings.
- O.C.G.A. § 15-11-6(b) authorizes the superior court to transfer to the juvenile court support cases not involving a question of paternity as well as those support proceedings originating from a court-established support unit in the judicial circuit. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U89-7.
Since no provision under O.C.G.A. § 15-11-6(b) would permit the transfer of paternity questions to a juvenile court, no case in which paternity is involved may be transferred under that statute by a superior court to a juvenile court. 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U89-7.
Superior court may not transfer a Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, O.C.G.A. § 19-11-40 et seq., proceeding to juvenile court under O.C.G.A. § 15-11-6(b). 1989 Op. Att'y Gen. No. U89-7.
